The present text aims to discuss the fruitfulness of the concept of human development. It is based on studies of Nietzsche and Valéry, highlighting the maneuvers of the hand and body to present action in the educational field, which brings to light exercises of the mind that imply in the production of beauty. The process of formation involves dancing with your feet, your hands, your words, your concepts, so that one becomes able to cope with the tensions between culture and nature, while allowing the creative act to take place. Perhaps the maneuvers witness a body that requires thinking of itself differently. Maneuvers that have fingers to touch details, support and resist the finding of oneself (find yourself) in everything. Such maneuvers are able to withstanding the shock of the beginnings to refine the human formation.
